Drupal is a content management system (CMS). CMS help you build Web sites. Good CMS do more. They help you build complete applications. Drupal is a good CMS.
Browsers and servers
You access Drupal sites with a Web browser, like Firefox or Chrome. Whether you're using a laptop, tablet, or phone, you always use a Web browser on that device.
whitehouse.gov is a Drupal site. Thousands of people look at the site every day. They all see the same homepage. How can that be, when everyone is running browsers on their own devices?
Because the data for whitehouse.gov is on a server. A server is a computer that other computers talk to. When you tell Firefox on your phone to show whitehouse.gov, you're really telling it to connect to the server at whitehouse.gov, download content, and show it to you.
The whitehouse.gov server has the Drupal software installed on it. Drupal sits around, twiddling its digital thumbs, until your browser asks it for a page. The content is kept in a database; you don't need to know what it is, just that Drupal stores content in a database. Drupal grabs the content you ask for from the database, gives it fonts, colors, headers, and things, and sends it to your browser.
Breaking work into chunks, and putting them on different computers, is one of the Big Ideas of IS.
Your Drupal site
You need the same thing to make Drupal sites:
You need your own domain, like lucy-smithers.com, or dynamonkey.net. It will cost you about $10 per year. That just gives you rights to use the name.
Pick a domain you can put on a resume. Like:
- lucy-smithers.com
- lucysmithers.net
- lucy-smithers.me
- smithereens-lucy.info
- lucysmithe.rs
You can use words that make sense professionally, like:
- smithersthegeek.com
- accounting-with-lucy.net
- lucy-the-hr-diva.com
(Maybe dynamonkey.net isn't so good after all.)
BTW, you can buy another domain, if you find one you like better. They're cheap. You can point more than one domain at the same Web site.
You also need a server to attach your domain to. You rent that from a Web hosting company. The cheapest type of hosting is shared hosting. That's all you need for this course. It will cost you about $8 to $15 per month.
There any many hosting companies, like HostGator, and inMotionHosting. Check with your instructor, to see if there's a particular one you should use.
You'll be installing a different copy of Drupal for each of your projects. Each one is called a Drupal instance. Each one will have its own set of Drupal files, and its own database.
You'll run them on the same domain, like calmcamel.net. You don't want the Drupal instances to interfere with each other. How to do that?
That's where subdomains come in. A subdomain is a slice of a domain, with an extra name in front. For example:
- strange.calmcamel.net
- project1.calmcamel.net
- soft-kitty-warm-kitty.calmcamel.net
Each one can have a different Drupal Web site on it.
Open source
Drupal is open source. That means anyone can download and use it for free.
It also means that anyone can contribute to the project. Writing code, testing, documentation, other things. Drupal 8, the latest version, had over 2,000 contributors when it was released. Thousands more write Drupal extensions, like modules and themes. You'll learn about them later.
The Drupal community is large, active, and helpful. It's hard to say how many people use Drupal. Over one million accounts have been created on Drupal.Org, Drupal's main site. Not all are active. Still, we can say that there are a lot of Drupalistas out there.
There's also a Drupal support industry. These companies help with training, operations, custom development, scaling, you name it.
If you're a student, consider contributing to Drupal. Add your work to your portfolio. You don't have to be a programmer. For example, English majors could help with documentation.

While the federal government is backing away from the fuel economy standards that were driving a transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs) – local municipalities are now joining together to lead the way. EarthKind is honored to be the Clean Transportation Project director for Sustainable Westchester's EV program (http://sustainablewestchester.org/2016/08/electric-vehicles/). Nationally, we will be joining villages, towns, cities and counties who are creating $10+ Billion of demand.
This is certainly one of the dirtiest and generally nasty things talked about in the energy field today. The coal industry in the US is on it's way out. This is a fact. And it is a fact that there are communities of people suffering because of that. A coal tax could be a answer to get the coal industry on the move. A move toward development of renewable energy and if instituted the socially responsible way could help this communities back on their feet. Read an article about this in USN.
It is good to see that there is a lot that goes on off the radar on working on climate change. The US and the Canadian governments have been hard at work since Paris. Trudeau and Obama have been working together and have many common goals.

Greater Shepparton City Council surveyed residents in green bin contamination hotspots to encourage them to dispose of food and garden waste correctly.
Project objective: To reduce contamination in the household organics waste (green lid) bin in the Archer Street and St Georges Road hotspots using door-to-door surveys
The council used door-to-door surveys to engage with the community, collect demographic data and increase residents' understanding and use of their green bin in the hotspot area of Archer Street and St Georges Road. In this area, about one-thirds of residents speak a language other than English at home so the council chose to recruit locals with the requisite language skills to carry out the surveys.
The council followed a six-step process:
|Step 1
|Recruit four residents living close to hotspot areas and with multilingual language skills to conduct the surveys
|Step 2
|Train surveyors on conducting door-to-door surveys, understanding waste services provided by council, relevant occupational health and safety advice and dealing with potential confrontation.
|Step 3
|Survey residents
|Carry out door-to-door surveys over a two-week period.
|Step 4
|Collate data
|Collate data using Survey Monkey.
|Step 5
|Debrief and review
|Debrief and review data with door-to-door surveyors.
|Step 6
|Next steps
|Review the impact of surveys and develop next steps.
Insufficient training for door-to-door surveyors due to officer availability: Surveyors received three hours of training prior to starting door-to-door surveys and did not have a significant understanding of council's waste services. We could have strengthened the targeted engagement by briefing the surveyors on the wider waste services that council provides. Surveyors might also have benefited from a site tour of the local composting facility.
The survey team completed 108 surveys over eight days with a 41 per cent response rate. Of the residents surveyed, 67 per cent spoke English at home and 14 languages other than English were spoken at home as the main language.
Green lid bin contamination recorded by kerbside truck drivers showed a decrease in contamination for a two-month period post-survey in the hotspot location. However, three-months post-survey contamination levels were only marginally lower than at the start of the project.
|Properties with recorded contamination (no.)
|Average bin weights (kg)
|Total waste sent to landfill (kg)
|Increase/decrease in contamination (% of households) *
*From pre-survey data
Almost three-quarters of residents surveyed responded (72 per cent) incorrectly to a question about where their organic waste goes after collection. This indicates that the council needs to communicate more effectively with residents about where food and garden waste ends up and the impact of contamination on the composting process.
The council will continue to identify and work with contamination hotspots to address green lid bin contamination.
Having the opportunity to undertake the community engagement project provided council's waste department with valuable information about the focus areas' demographics and understanding and use of the new garden and food waste collection system. The information collected will enable the waste services team to improve our communication with the community and work towards reducing green bin contamination.

The day has finally arrived…I start putting out the figures!
The house is decorated, the fence lines are finished, the gazebo is done, etc., etc.,etc. And I've mowed the lawn for the last time (and hopefully 98% of the leaves).
I've run the electrical (main lines) and am now ready to start putting out the figures. I have a friend coming by this afternoon to help with the buildings.
Tomorrow, I will put the lights on the neighbor's house and should have his yard finished by Sunday evening (depending on the rain forecast for Sunday). Should have the two main yards complete by Tuesday.
Next will be the decorating of the other 5 houses' yards and putting the finishing touches around (candy canes, etc).
I've continued to make changes in the lighting and placement of figures. For those discerning viewers, it will look significantly different.
The goal is to have everything done by Sunday the 24th.
I've talked to Santa and he has agreed to come the 4 nights before Christmas Eve (Fri thru Mon, December 20th thru the 23rd). With the schools not getting out for Christmas until Friday, we didn't feel he should start earlier.
Friday (Nov 15, 2013)- 13 Days till Light Off
The day has finally arrived…I start putting out the figures!

The world was a grim place in the spring and summer of 1941. War that engulfed most of Europe and Asia was rushing relentlessly to take North America in its dark embrace. The U.S. population knew war was imminent.
But there was the most incredible baseball season going on. It would not go unnoticed. For one thing, there was Boston's Ted Williams, who would hit .406. And the Yankee Clipper, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio, who would hit safely in 56 consecutive games, a streak that is no more likely to be broken than Cy Young's record of 511 pitching victories or Sam Crawford's record of 309 career triples.

If you'd like to produce your own version of The N Game, here are some steps for the cards:
Step 1: Download the files needed for printing. You'll need both the Cards-Front File and the Cards-Back File. You'll also want some way of viewing and printing pdf files, like Adobe Reader.
Step 2: You'll also need paper for the cards. The print-on-demand version of The N Game uses International Paper's Carolina Coated Two Sides 12 Point glossy cardstock. Most home printers won't handle this thick of a stock, so you might want to use a somewhat thinner cardstock like Hammermill 100# Color Copy Cover or equivalent. Some people also like to use a regular weight cardstock (65# Cover or 110# Index) for one side, and a sheet of regular paper for the other side (see information below on duplexing). You can also just print the fronts of the cards and sleeve them.
Step 3: For the thicker stocks, you'll probably print one side and then run the stock back through the printer for the second side. The two files are centered on the page, depending on your printer's alignment you may need to print one side upside down from the other (flipping the paper in the input tray) to make the cards line up. We recommend printing the fronts first, since the second side may not line up perfectly.
Step 3a: If you printed the front and the back of the cards on separate sheets, you'll want to adhere the front of the cards to the backs in a process called duplexing. If you printed one side on a label stock or have access to a Xyron machine or other cold-mount adhesive machine, this can be as simple as peel and stick. If you'll be using spray adhesive, tape one sheet face-down at each corner to a larger sheet of waste cardstock, then line up the other sheet face-up and tape it along one of the long sides. You can then flip over the top sheet and spray the adhesive onto both sheets. Carefully turn the one sheet over, pressing it down starting at the tape line and working to the opposite side.
Step 4: The least costly (although most time-intensive) way of cutting the cards is to use a metal straight-edge, a X-Acto knife and cutting mat/waste sheet of cardstock. Line up the straight-edge with the crop marks on the top and bottom of the cards and make a cut through one sheet at a time. Cut all the vertical lines first, then begin cutting the horizontal lines. After the last cuts, each of the cards on the sheet should fall out. For thicker sheets, you may need a couple of passed for each cut. Using brand new blades makes things go smoother and cleaner. Alternative methods include using a rotary paper cutter, or paper shear. You can also approach a local print shop (small Mom & Pops will probably give better results than large printshops or national chains in both cost and turnaround time) and ask them to cut according to the crop marks. It may be helpful to let them know that the final size is 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (with a paper cutter, the crop marks will be cut off after the first few steps, so it's helpful to know what the final size is supposed to be).
Step 4a: If you like, round the corners. The cards in the print-on-demand version of the game have a 1/4″ rounded corner. Most arts & crafts stores have corner rounders of this size, one of sufficient quality to do one or two decks of cards will be less than $10(US).
Step 5: Separate the Agents/Events cards from the Resource cards and you've got cards for The N Game!

Smoke bomb set off on Lamar ISD school bus
ROSENBERG, Texas — Students were forced to evacuate a Lamar Independent School District bus after one of the children set off a smoke bomb, according to district officials.
LISD officials said the bus was transporting students from Navarro Middle School, George Junior High School and Terry High School when the bomb went off. Investigators said the bus driver pulled over and all the students were forced to exit the bus.
The school said no students were injured, and once the smoke was cleared, the bus was able to finish its route.
Administrators said parents were sent a message about the incident.
"The students responsible will be subject to appropriate consequences," LISD officials said in a statement.

Africa investor Ai40 Weekly Commentary – 24 July 2017
By David | July 24, 2017
Last week the Ai40 Investor's Index continued on a bull run to reach another record high for the year. The upward push was largely driven by telecoms and banking stocks. Meanwhile, Nigerian-listed equities tracked by the Index continue to underperform. The Index gained 0.96 points (or 1%) from a previous close of 96.77 to end Friday at a year-high 97.73.
In US markets last week, stock indices ended the week marginally lower as investors continued to digest corporate earnings reports. On the global front, "stock markets were mostly lower on Friday as investors assessed the outlook for central bank policies." In oil markets, volatility returned to the fore after "a tanker-tracking firm reported supply from OPEC is rising" according to CNBC. On Friday, oil prices were down over 2% as a barrel of WTI traded at $45.77.
At Friday's close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.14%, or 31.71 points, to close the week at a value of 21,580.07. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2.25 points, to end the week at a value of 6,387.75. The S&P 500 closed the week lower by 0.91 points, to close Friday on a value of 2,472.54.
Orange Egypt – the Cairo-listed telecoms firm – was the Index's best performer for the second week running. The company's stock gained 21.6% last week. The firm met with the Egyptian communications Minister last week and was tapped to increase its investment in the country. Telecom Egypt also featured on the Gainers List with an increase of 6.5%.
Elsewhere on the continent, shares for Standard Bank rose by 6.4%, while Equity Bank's stock appreciated by 4.6%. Still in the banking space, Banque de Tunisie enjoyed a 4.4% increase.
For the third review in a row, Nigerian stocks continue to dominate the Losers List. Once again, the worst performer was First Bank which fell by 5.4%. Guaranty Trust Bank shares were down 2.4%. Last week the Federal High Court in Nigeria ordered seven banks to remit $793 million to the government. According to Premium Times Nigeria, "the money was allegedly hidden with the banks in violation of the Federal Government's Treasury Single Account policy." Still in Nigeria, Dangote Cement shares lost 3.4%.
TMG Holdings, an Egyptian real estate firm dropped 3.4% and Anglo American shares were down 2.3% for the week.

freeze and ICE tree
freeze on a geometry deletes his ICE tree? is this a bug?
Example. create a geometry, select it, Ctrl+9 and create ICE tree, plug anything, then freeze.
edit.. I suppose is working as intended, but it would be nice if in the next version It would be added in the softimage users guide that freeze also removes the ICE Tree (my mistake, I didnt thought it was an operator). Lucky for me Im doing personal stuff so trial and error helps a lot when learning, so from now on "Freeze M" will be my new best friend and "Freeze" his evil twin.

Yes, creating an ICE tree on a model manually, it will be added to the -modeling- stack. You can see it popping up in the little explorer on the right.
If you don't want to loose it when freezing, move it up the stack before hitting the freeze button.
Freezing will remove -everything- in the modeling stack as stated in the manual.
from that wonderful manual:
"You can include animated operators in the Modeling region, if desired. However, the animation will be lost if you freeze the modeling."
maybe it's better to start with the menu:
create cube, add ICE emit from selection,. tweak some points on cube>freeze.
ICE tree is still there and functional on the pointcloud.
In this case, pebkac. Just teasing...

Standard - Prairie Artisan Ales Tulsa, OK
Our latest review comes all the way from the Sooner State. Prairie Artisan Ales is a small brewery in Tulsa, OK headed by two brothers that wanted to do something awesome. With this light delicious brew, they certainly have captured awesome in a glass.
New York City has been graced with the presence of Prairie's beers on the extremely rare occasion. After a brief affair with their sessional farmhouse ale Birra, I was hooked and I needed more. With the magic of the internet, I was able to get my hands on a small box of some of their best brews. Standard is the first to be opened.
I pour the beer into my trusty tulip glass and I can't wait to dive in. It's a sunny day outside so the windows are open and pulling in rays of warm sunlight to light up my otherwise dark NYC apartment. I take a second to look at the beer in the glass and it's a pretty sight. An unfiltered tangerine haze looks right back at me. Just the right amount of light is peeking through to illuminate the beer in the glass. It's like some sort of liquid light bulb firing off a yellow-orange incandescent light.
Right off the bat, peppery yeast hits and gives way to lime zest. Any malt on the nose is overwhelmed. I gotta make sure I don't dip my nose into the beer. It smells so good. The first sip brings some lightly sharp lime. The saison yeast is popping off pepper notes which I freakin' love. The malt is very subtle and echoes the nose. This beer is really about the yeast and the Motueka hops. A subtle bittersharp finish rides caboose and brings you back for more. It's dry but not too dry as it leaves just enough behind to make you wanna chase the last sip with another.
Damn it this is good. I really could drink this beer every day. I might have to use the powers of the internets to make this a reality more often. If anyone out there has access Prairie's beers, drop us a line and let's work something out!!
If anyone is looking for some more information on the guys from Prairie, please take a look at their website.

We Understand That Pain Or injury Of The Foot And Ankle Can Severely Impact The Quality Of your Life
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained physician and his team are renowned for their treatment of all sorts of foot and ankle disorders and focus on relieving pain so you can regain mobility and function.
We treat everything from the simple and routine problems like ingrown nails, warts, orthotics, bunions, hammer toes and sprained ankles, to diabetic foot care, severe sprains and fractures of the foot and ankle, heel spurs, tendon ruptures and more. We also offer pioneering treatments such as Tenex Health TX, which is minimally invasive and helps remove damaged tissue and stimulate healing and even complex reconstruction and total replacement surgery.
Of course, whenever possible, our doctors always choose the most conservative care for patients first, such as physical therapy and pain management. Should surgery be necessary, we look at the most minimally invasive procedures first that will help with a more speedy recovery.

|A sprain is caused by twisting your ankle. Your foot usually turns in or under but may turn to the outside. An ANKLE SPRAIN is an injury that causes a stretch or tear of one or more ligaments in the ankle joint. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones at the joint. Sprains may be classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Most sprains occur on the outside part of the ankle, but they can occur on the inside as well. To diagnose a sprained ankle, the doctor will review how the injury occurred and consider your symptoms. He or she will examine your ankle carefully, possibly taking X-rays.
• Mild aching to sudden pain

ACHILLES TENDONITIS causes pain and may cause swelling over the Achilles tendon. The tendon will be tender and may be swollen. You will have pain when you rise up on your toes and pain with stretching of the tendon. The range of motion of your ankle may be limited. When it tears or ruptures, you may feel a pop. If there is a complete tear, you will be unable to lift your heel off the ground or point your toes.
Achilles Tendinitis can be caused by:
• Overuse of the Achilles tendon
For additional information visit:
Bunions are painful swellings that occur at the base of the first toe on the inner side of the foot as a result of inflammation, and can lead to pain, tenderness and an altered position of the first toe. Bunions tend to run in families, suggesting that the inherited shape of the foot may lead some people to develop this condition. Flat feet, which are often unstable, can also cause bunions as the uneven pressure on the foot may cause the toe to bend and deform. Bunions can also be caused by shoes that are too small or uncomfortable, and are much more common in men than in women.
• Large bump on the outside of the big toe
Treatment Options
Treatment for bunions depends on the severity of the condition, although early treatment is always considered most effective. Nonsurgical treatments such as changing shoes, applying ice, medication, orthotics and physical therapy can often help relieve symptoms of mild bunions. More severe cases may require surgical removal, which is often successful in relieving pain, inflammation, deformities and stiffness.

|With over 26 bones, the foot and ankle are common locations for bone fractures. A fracture is a break or crack in a bone that can cause pain and swelling in the affected area. FOOT AND ANKLE FRACTURES most commonly occur from injury, such as a fall or other event that places great force on the foot. Certain factors such as age and osteoporosis can increase a patient's risk for fractures, and may also be a major cause, since bones begin to weaken and become brittle as we age. There are several different types of foot and ankle fractures depending on which bone is affected and the severity of the fractures. A fracture may occur in the phalanges (toes), metatarsals, talus, calcaneus, tibia or fibula.
Treatment Options
Treatment for foot and ankle fractures depends on the type, severity and location of the fracture. Your doctor will often begin treatment with conservative methods such as rest, ice, immobilization and anti-inflammatory medication to see if the fracture heals on its own. If a fracture is not out of place and the bone remains stable, most can be effectively treated without surgery. Surgery, however, may be required for some cases to set or realign the fracture and help promote healthy healing. Surgery may use a metal plate, rod or screws to realign the bone fragments and hold them in place while they heal.
For additional information visit:
The ankle is where the bones of the lower leg and top of the foot meet. Used every time you walk, run, or even stand, this joint can wear and tear over the years. It is also prone to injury, particularly if bones and tendons are weak or cartilage is worn. If you have ankle pain and stiffness, or suffered an ankle injury that is not responding to non-surgical treatments, you may be a candidate for ankle replacement surgery.
The ankle joint is comprised of three bones: the tibia (shin bone), the fibula (the small bone in the lower leg), and the talus (the bone that fits in between the tibia and fibula). The talus is a hinge bone that allows your foot to move up and down. The bones are held together on both sides of the ankle joint by ligaments. Tendons cross over the ankle, helping move the ankle and toes. The Achilles tendon, which is in the back of the ankle, connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, providing the power for walking, running, and jumping. Articular cartilage covers the bones inside the joint, enabling them to move smoothly.
During ankle replacement surgery, the ankle joint is replaced with a two or three-part prosthesis. An incision is made on the front or side of the ankle, depending upon the type of implant being used. The blood vessels, nerves, and tendons are carefully moved to the side. The surgeon then makes an incision in the joint capsule that encloses the ankle joint, opens the joint, and prepares the surfaces. The ends of the tibia and fibula are shaped to fit the metal socket of the prosthesis. Then the top of the talus is shaped to insert the new talus component. All of the pieces of the prosthesis are put in place and tested.
Ankle replacement may be necessary for patients whose arthritis has caused decreased function, or whose pain and dysfunction have not responded to conservative treatment. It may also be the best option when a bone is severely fractured or the joint has suffered repeated injuries. Our surgeons will evaluate your situation to determine if you are a good candidate for ankle replacement.
Recovery and Outcome
Pain after surgery is to be expected, but it can be managed with medications. Successful recovery from ankle replacement surgery requires a period of immobilization and elevation to control swelling and enhance wound healing. You will be wearing a cast or splint and will not be able to bear any weight on the foot for two weeks, so you will need to use a walker or crutches.
Your surgeon will help plan a rehabilitation program, which will be key to surgical success. Upon recovery, you should experience less pain, better function, and improved strength and motion.

I'm in the hospitality business and would never treat customers like he did.

Jordan and Jamie's wedding was the wedding that everyone dreams about having. It was a gorgeous October day, warm like summer but colors ebbing towards peak foliage season. The both had a gaggle of best friends get ready with them at cool hip spots doing cool hip things before the ceremony time. The ceremony was at a mansion. That's right, a sweet mansion in Rhode Island with sweeping verandas of the bay and grounds that would make any gardener go weak in the knees. Jordan and Jamie are both from that group of people that are always cool and you always want to hang out with and you can because they are so generous and humble. Their first look was filled with tears and laughter, with knowing the moment and the day were significant, but also not wanting to take themselves too seriously.
The ceremony took place in the garden of the right wing of the mansion with a great view of the ocean and surrounded the whole party in flowers. I still have the song that their wedding party came down the aisle to, so unconventional and cool. There were no strict bridesmaids and groomsmen it was just: wedding party. Jordan in her dress was a site to behold as she came down the aisle with her bother by her side. It was like watching Beyonce march onto stage, the wind was blowing just right and her stride possessed all of the might that this lovely woman holds. Everything that was done had their personality all over it. Their vows were sealed with a knot tying ceremony and the triumphant couple waltzed down the aisle in a bubble of joy.
Our group photos were marked by a hawk having found a fresh dinner on the ground beside our background of choice. Always good to have a bit of wild life mixed in with your wedding day. Then Jamie, Jordan and I frolicked among the flowers and the epic sunset to capture their portraits, before they joined their guests for cocktail hour and lawn games. Speeches by Jordan's sister and Jamie's Dad started off the reception. Some of the best speeches I have heard, they had the right amount of information in them to know (without previously knowing this couple) that they were a force to be reckoned with both in their careers and athletic lives. It all came to fruition on the dance floor for their first dance, which I have to say, is the best first dance I have ever witnessed. So much passion, trust and confidence in both of them. The pictures speak for themselves I think. And of course what is any best wedding ever without a live band? They played the crowd into the full moon night under the sparkly lit tent. Very happy to have been a part of such an event and I wish this couple a lot of happiness.

The chief financial officers of North Americas largest companies are generally more optimistic about the economy but still fear possible stagnation ahead, according to Deloittes latest quarterly survey of North American CFOs.
More than 90% of the 106 CFOs surveyed say that public policy uncertainty over the debt ceiling and government spending cuts is having at least some impact on hiring and other company plans. Tax policy is especially worrisome for many CFOs, with some 75% claiming at least some impact on their companies plans and 40% indicating substantial or strong impacts.
U.S. CFOs expressed particularly strong concerns about the effects of the governments taxing and spending policies on consumer demand and the broader economy. As a result, about 40% are initiating or ramping up lobbying and other public-policy advocacy efforts.
Despite their concerns, CFO growth expectations rebounded in the first quarter of 2013. CFO expectations for year-over-year earnings growth rose to 12.1% from 10.9% last quarter, and their outlook for capital spending jumped to 7.8% from last quarters 4.2% survey low. Expectations for sales and domestic hiring, however, remained stable, with 27% expecting cuts in domestic hiring, according to the findings.
Every year weve done the survey, weve seen optimism peak in the first quarter only to decline considerably in the following quarters, Sanford Cockrell III, national managing partner of Deloittes CFO Program, said in a statement. For 2013 to be different, CFOs need some clarification on the public policy front and enough economic consistency and momentum to feel comfortable investing in growth.
The survey polled 106 CFOs representing North American companies with collective annual revenues of more than $680 billion. It was conducted from Feb. 11 25, 2013.

Climate does not change uniformly
Claire Parkinson
In a case of polar opposites, as arctic sea ice shrinks, Antarctica's sea ice at the other end of the globe is growing, a NASA study says.
While a steady and dramatic decline in the sea ice cover of the Arctic Ocean has been observed during the last three decades, something more complex is happening around Antarctica where the total extent of sea ice surrounding the continent in the Southern Ocean has grown by roughly 6,600 square miles every year during the same period, NASA scientists said.
"There's been an overall increase in the sea ice cover in the antarctic, which is the opposite of what is happening in the arctic," lead author Claire Parkinson, a NASA climate scientist, said.
This year's winter antarctic sea ice maximum extent, reached two weeks after the Arctic Ocean's ice cap experienced an all-time summertime low, was a record high for the satellite era of 7.49 million square miles, about 193,000 square miles more than its average maximum extent for the last three decades, researchers said.
However, the fact that some areas of the Southern Ocean are apparently cooling and producing more sea ice does not disprove a warming climate, Parkinson said.
"Climate does not change uniformly: The Earth is very large and the expectation definitely would be that there would be different changes in different regions of the world," she said. "That's true even if overall the system is warming."

Every time I walk into my room I am taunted by my snowboard leaning against my wall that is being un-used. There's nothing I would rather do than take a trip to the mountains and spend an entire day with my headphones in playing me uplifting melodies while I ride down the mountain carving on fresh powder.
Every year brings a progression of skills and the most insane moments shared with friends whether we board in the mountains or around town on jumps, rails, or whatever we can find to jib. Last year was a good year of progression but my confidence caused me to take a spill that still haunts me when I think about it.
I made it to a small hill outside of Edmonton called Rabbit hill. It sounds pretty lame but it's known for its terrain park which was well put together. I was riding with a friend who is allot more skilled then I am, so of course I decided I was going to try and keep up. We were hitting jumps and I was landing grabs and 180 spins no problem so I started getting confident and hitting anything he would attempt. It was going good until I tried a front side spin onto a box.
For anyone who has never tried to hit a box at a snowboard park, it's extremely slippery. I turned with my back facing towards where I was going and not judging my balance properly, slipped out. My feet came out from under me and I fell, hitting face first onto the box, and my head bounced off of it. After sitting down a couple seconds trying to understand what happened, I realised that my mouth felt extremely weird. I tried feeling my teeth with my tongue, but all that was left was jagged edges of my front teeth. I spit into the snow beside creating a pool pool of blood.
All I could think to myself was "fuck! My teeth! What have I done?!" I didn't want to believe what had actually happened and I sat there still in shock. My friend came up to me laughing, thinking that my spill wasn't that bad but when he looked at my face I could tell by his expression that it was bad.
I snowboarded down the hill after taking a few deep breaths and every inhale sent a shock of pain through the exposed nerves in my teeth. Once making it down the hill, my girlfriend was waiting for me eager to snowboard. When I made it to her, the first thing I said was, "We have to go."
She looked at me with a questionable gaze and when I smiled to reveal my bloody mouth full of broken teeth she understood why. With a new season about to start and a painful nightmare still taunting me I need to find the courage to let myself ride without worry or fear and let my skills progress to yet another level.

3M debuts Cavilon antifungal cream
ST. PAUL, Minn. — 3M's skin and wound care division has launched an easy-to-apply cream that is designed to relieve skin discomforts caused by fungal infections.
New Cavilon antifungal cream, which is available in 2-oz. and 5-oz. tubes, is enriched with water-repelling ingredients, including 2% miconazole nitrate, an active ingredient that has been clinically proven to treat tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea pedis (athlete's foot) and tinea cruris (jock itch), 3M said. The product also is approved for use on fungal infections caused by Candida albicans.
"Cavilon antifungal cream fills a significant need for clinicians and their patients, and by launching this new product, 3M is reinforcing its strong commitment to skin care," said Marcello Napol, global business director of 3M skin and wound care. "It also bolsters our Cavilon brand by meeting clinical needs for all types of skin applications."
Something to sneeze at: Retailers put spotlight on OTC Allegra
NEW YORK — An over-the-counter version of the antihistamine Allegra hit the marketplace amid a promotional frenzy that was consistent with the approach taken when such similar products as Claritin and Zyrtec became available without a prescription. As was the case with other products before it, retailers are eager to get their share of sales, so there tends to be considerable activity around the launch.
For example, Walmart last week ran an ad during "American Idol," announcing it would have the OTC product, and then this past weekend, Allegra was featured in numerous retailers' Sunday circulars. Target took that approach, but it featured a small ad for Allegra on the bottom of page 16 of a 24-page circular at $17.99 for the standard 30-count package. However, the company prominently featured the brand on an endcap near its pharmacies.
Walgreens also offered Allegra at $17.99, but was more ambitious in stores utilizing an Allegra-branded purple archway that extended across two endcaps. The company also offered an in-store coupon that reduced the price by $3.
Rival CVS/pharmacy was even more aggressive on the pricing front, beating others' prices by 10 cents in its featured $17.88 price. CVS also featured the brand on the cover of its circular, but promoted an "after savings" price of $8.88 by noting shoppers could receive $5 in Extra Bucks rewards good for use on their next purchase and further reduce the price with a $4 manufacturer's coupon that was in most Sunday newspapers.
Kmart included Allegra on the back page of its circular for $17.99, but the image was small and easily lost amid the dozens of other featured items.
Meda Consumer Healthcare saluted for relaunch of Bifera
ATLANTA — Meda Consumer Healthcare recently was named the grand winner of the MAX Awards for excellence in marketing for the relaunch of Bifera, an over-the-counter supplement that offers two types of iron — protein- and plant-based.
Presented by Georgia State University's Robinson College of Business Department of Marketing and the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the MAX Awards honored outstanding marketing innovations developed or launched by Georgia companies in 2010.
Meda Consumer Healthcare was honored as grand winner for its nontraditional approach to the relaunch of Bifera. To communicate the product's benefits, Meda focused on consumer education over "pharmaceutical marketing," leveraging key influencers and grassroots, word-of-mouth marketing. By narrowing its target market focus and reaching its audience through innovative methods, the company restructured the entire market, almost doubling average weekly sales.
The Global Soap Project and the Vidalia Onion Committee with Langston Communications for the Ogres and Onions Program also were named winners. Winners were selected by the Georgia State University Marketing Roundtable, which comprises senior marketing executives from many of Atlanta's top companies.

Life-changing uses for turmeric
If you can only use one spice for the rest of your life, make it turmeric. Its golden, gritty appearance looks intimidating, but it is a gentle, gentle substance. Turmeric hails from India and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine since 500 BCE. It contains an insane amount of antioxidants and also contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Some even say it works better than most over-the-counter medications. Now, we're not saying that turmeric can solve every ailment, but early research shows it may be a promising solution to help with a lot of problems with very few (if any) side effects.
We all know turmeric is a great spice for cooking, with its warm, fragrant flavor profiles. But it it can also hold an important place in your beauty routine. With its anti-inflammatory benefits showing impressive results through both consumption and topical use, turmeric might become the new health product your can't live without. Here are all the uses for the seemingly-magical spice that you need to know about.

Pricing your book properly may be the most important marketing decision you will make as a publisher. The price you choose will determine your sales, revenue, profits and opportunities for long-term growth. However, there is a big difference between pricing for sales through retail stores (including bookstores) and to non-retail buyers. You can improve your business significantly if you price your book correctly for retail or business-to-business (B2B) sales.
Most publishers price their books for sale through retail stores, particularly bookstores (brick and clicks). They consider their costs (production, distribution, shipping, operations) and the desired profit, and then set the price. This is placed on the rear cover and included in all metadata. It tells consumers how much the publisher values the content, and it sets the point from which distribution discounts are calculated.
The second consideration is the price at which it is sold to buyers in the non-retail, B2B segment. This includes buyers in corporations, schools, government agencies, and associations. These people are less concerned with the list price than they are about the unit price they will pay for a large, non-returnable purchase.
Retail pricing
Bookstores and other retailers sell products off the shelf (or computer) to people browsing the available selection for the one that best meets their needs and budget. The challenge with retail pricing is that the price of your book is readily compared to competitive titles nearby on the shelves (or on the computer screen). If your price is too low, people may perceive your book as not capable of providing the value they need. If it is too high it may be perceived as not worth the money you are asking for it, especially if there are similar competitive books from which to choose.
Given these circumstances, many publishers price their book the same as competitors. This is dangerous since they may print their books in large quantities, yielding a lower cost. If you print fewer books with a higher cost and sell them at the same price, your profit could be reduced or eliminated. And this strategy does not differentiate your book or give adequate value to your content. Your book becomes a commodity product.
Let's look at retail pricing form a different perspective to see the impact of pricing strategy on sales, revenue, and profits. The difference among these measures is demonstrated in Figure 1. Some publishers price their book at the lowest possible figure with the objective of maximizing unit sales (shown in left-hand column). The price of $9.95 forecasts the most sales (2,250 units). But unit sales alone will not determine how much money you could take in.
Perhaps your goal is to maximize revenue. In this case you would price your book at $18.95. Even though you will sell fewer books (1,800), your net revenue will be higher (after deducting distribution fees and direct costs).
If your objective is to maximize profits, then another factor enters the equation: the possibility of selling more books decreases as the price increases, given a competitive marketplace. The solution is to assign a probability factor – the likelihood of making the sale at any given price.
Let's assume that if you set your price at $9.95 the probability of meeting your forecast is 100%. And it decreases to 10% at the highest price (all figures in the "Probability" column in Figure 1 are not calculated, but only shown as examples). The price at which you will realize the highest profit in this example is $14.95.
Pricing for non-retail sales
Not all book sales are made through retail stores. In fact, there is an enormous opportunity for selling your books to business-to-business (B2B) buyers. They purchase products (including books) to use as promotional items (such as a premium or gift with purchase). You are not only competing against other books, but other products being considered for the same use. These could be a thermos, a quality pen, or a coffee mug. Your pricing is evaluated as it compares to these other products.
There are important differences when pricing your book for B2B sales. Since most publishers are familiar with retail pricing, they apply the retail, "top-down" pricing strategy when selling to B2B buyers. In non-retail sales, the price at which you sell your book may or may not have anything to do with the price printed on your book. That does not mean that the price is irrelevant—it simply has a different function. If you price it properly, the B2B segment can be a profitable source of large quantity, non-returnable sales.
Pricing from the buyer's perspective
B2B pricing strategy starts at a different place then in retail strategy. The price of your book is not compared to other books, but to other choices of promotional items. Instead of pricing a potential order from the top down (discounting off the retail price), start with the unit cost to customize and print your book in various quantities, and then go up.
The amount you add to your cost is negotiated separately with every buyer and for each potential order. An important factor is that B2B buyers do not purchase books through a distribution channel, but directly from the publisher. Without the distribution fees you can negotiate a lower selling price significantly without sacrificing profits. Figure 2 shows an example of pricing a B2B sale at different quantities to demonstrate this strategy.
How would this apply in a sales situation? Let's say your prospects want to stimulate booth traffic at trade shows by giving away an item to people walking past their exhibit. The two products under consideration are your book and imprinted coffee mugs. They expect to purchase 5000 of the selected item. The cost of coffee mugs ranges from $2.50 to $3.00. Your B2B pricing strategy makes you competitive with the coffee mugs. You now have a good chance of selling 5000 books. In comparison, if you applied retail pricing strategy and discounted your $14.95 book by 60%, your selling price would be $5.98 and you would have no chance for the order.
These alternatives demonstrate that pricing is more complex then simply mimicking your competition. The answer to your pricing dilemma lies in your ability and willingness to apply strategic thinking to achieve your marketing objectives. It is not an either/or decision. Simply choose the option that best suits your strategy when marketing your book through retail stores or to business-to-business buyers.

Measuring how well a disaster recovery solution is working is essential for an organization. Paul Kirvan wrote on TechTarget that typical metrics for measurement include knowledge, experience and motivation. These will all help a business tell whether or not their system is competent, something that will be an important point of knowledge if disaster strikes or an outage occurs. The human aspect of a system is also key, as he said business leaders should know how well employees will respond during a crisis.
"Does an individual remain calm, perform his or her duties in accordance with the playbook and training, and steadily handle stress-filled situations that often arise in disasters?" Kirvan asked. "Or does that individual freeze, become indecisive, demonstrate lack of emotional control, or panic?"
After checking if the system is working well, he said a competence check of employees should include the ability to give and follow directions, adapt to changing situations, lead others and quickly assess, understand and work through a situation.
The Disaster Recovery Journal contributor Geoffrey Wold said regular testing has many benefits, including determining how feasible recovery is, verifying data backup, having a better plan for maintenance and identifying any problems that may exist in the system.

Atlas Corps Tech is a special initiative within Atlas Corps—a nonprofit organization that engages social change leaders from around the world in long-term professional service overseas. Building on our successful track record of bringing the world's best global service leaders to the United States, Atlas Corps Tech focuses on engaging social change leaders in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to serve in the U.S. for 12-18 months at the world's best technology organizations and nonprofits.
Atlas Corps believes that talent is universally distributed in the world but opportunity is not. The Tech Sector clearly recognizes this idea. The CEOs of leading tech companies, like Microsoft and Google, were born in India. There are countless examples of other talented tech leaders crossing borders to grow companies and spread knowledge. We want this opportunity to also exist for the world's most talented social change tech leaders, where resources and visa capabilities are not as abundant. Nonprofits and CSR teams could greatly benefit from social change tech leaders crossing borders to address critical social issues. We want social change tech leaders from overseas to learn best practices from the U.S. and for us to learn from them. Atlas Corps builds bridges with the world's best social change tech leaders and organizations.
Atlas Corps seeks applicants who:
Each Fellow will identify tracks based on area of expertise and interest. Tracks include: Biotechnology, Clean Technology, Information Technology, Internet, Policy, Science, Software & Hardware, and Telecommunications.
